You keep getting taken in BBC stories about some Reform council running out of paperclips, oh the humanity.Reform councils are a complete disaster
media dont have to struggle to find criticism of Reform utter incompetence............but the media does not hold Reform to account because the media is 90% owned by billionaires who want Reforms tax cuts for the rich
poor Ivor, easily taken in by Tory 2.0 the sequel![]()

its not very simpleIt's very simple... if it's a monopoly public service then the state runs it. If it's a competitive marketplace then leave it to private business.
Don't get hung up on private vs public tribalism. Then you end up with the sort of politicians who thought that state ownership of British Leyland was going to work. Or the banks. Or the steelworks. All expensive unproductive disasters.
State-run industries usually get taken over by union mobsters. Which is why Labour tends to go this way, they know it benefits their paymasters.

By a collection of people. Not usually by an individual. It's out of reach of most people's ability.how else is it paid for?
Hiring Private contractors and consultants is the Free markets way. Trussonomics on steroids is the answer 'reform' have turned to.its not very simple
you dont seem to understand that private sector is run for shareholders and when they win govt contracts what they do is slash the service quality
poor Ivor has a very fixed mind -he doesnt do any research he just relies on his blind faith and ignorance
Why councils are bringing millions of pounds worth of services back in-house
After 40 years of awarding contracts to the private sector, insourcing is now the way for local authorities to cut costs and improve quality
with 77% of UK councils planning to bring services back in-house this year. And the report calculates that between 2016 and 2018, at least 220 local government contracts have been brought back into council control.

They're utterly desperate to find any cracks, however tiny. Sadly some muppets actually believe their nonsense.
please try readingYou're making a fool of yourself again.
I think we agree that monopoly public services should be provided directly by the state.
You've got stuck on auto-argue mode again. Try rebooting your AI engine or something.
Did you vote for Boris Johnson in 2019Would you prefer it if the government ran all the supermarkets?

ExactlyExactly !!!!
noWould you prefer it if the government ran all the supermarkets?
You might want to do a bit of research before stating something so daft.
The UK avg is £18K per citizen and less than £15k for England.
Someone on £70k per year - is paying their way in income tax. With other tax, you could argue that someone on 50-60k might also do the same.
